Connecticut store that sold gun to Newtown shooter's mom loses license From ASSOCIATED PRESS Last Updated: 3:05 PM, April 5, 2013 Posted: 9:15 AM, April 5, 2013 NEW HAVEN, Conn.  A shop that sold a gun to the Newtown school shooter's mother has lost its federal firearms license.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives revoked the license of Riverview Gun Sales in East Windsor in December. The agency, which confirmed the revocation to reporters Thursday, didn't say why.

Authorities raided the store for undisclosed reasons shortly after the December school shootings in which Adam Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. He also shot to death his mother, Nancy, at their home. Authorities say he fired 154 shots with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle inside the school, then killed himself with a Glock handgun.

This is the tyranny of Procedure. The citizen (or business) must now muster the resources to fight back against the unlimited resources of government. It is the war of time and money and government has the advantage with both.

If I was the store owner I would do anything to publicize this. But he probably thinks it would be bad marketing. I think it would only be so to people that would never buy from him. If this is just, then the car salesman that sells a car to someone that proceeds to drink, drive, and kill someone should be shut down.

You are both correct. Ask the Reese family in Deming, NM about persecution by the Feral Govt. Nobody will stand up for evil gun dealers. They could crucify them on the sidewalk out front and the MSM would not mention it. Gun dealers are Armenian Jewish Kulaks to this regime.

"If I was the store owner I would do anything to publicize this. But he probably thinks it would be bad marketing. I think it would only be so to people that would never buy from him."

I think you are missing the real story here. When the Gub'ment revokes your license to sell guns it means they have deemed you broke the law. This owner is in danger of being incarcerated. He's probably not worrying much about advertising.

More and more I am coming to firmly believe that all congresspersons and judges have been tainted by corruption to some extent. I can only speak from the experience of a low level bureaucrat but I can surmise from the eyes and ears of experience.

Obviously we don’t know all the facts and he may have done something illegal, but, based on the reactionary ways of this administration, I am assuming the owner is not guilty of anything other than be the unfortunate person that sold weapons to the mother.
It reminds me of Hillary promising a family member of one of the Bengazi victims that they will hunt down and punish the maker of the inciting video.

On Saturday, a South Windsor man  who had received a suspended prison sentence and two years probation in May for stealing a dozen rifles and shotguns from Riverview Sales  tried to steal a sniper rifle from the same store, police said.

Jordan Marsh, 26, pleaded guilty May 10 to a single count of stealing a firearm and received a suspended prison sentence and two years of probation. He initially faced 12 counts of stealing a firearm and other larceny charges.

According to East Windsor police, on Saturday, Marsh grabbed a Bushmaster .50-caliber rifle from Riverview Sales valued at $5,000 and ran from the store. When store employees confronted Marsh, he pulled a knife, then fled on foot. Police officers eventually caught and arrested him.

“Police said Riverview Gun Sales had no idea the AR-15 Marsh stole was missing. Management at the store didn’t know about 11 guns that Marsh had allegedly stolen last year until they were notified by detectives,” WFSB-TV reports.

Riverview Gun Sales has had inventory issues in the past. State police raided a Connecticut home in 2007 and reportedly found a number of stolen firearms belonging to the store.

It really is frightening... Check out some of the Stossel specials.

There was this lobster fisherman who spent 6 years in federal prison for using boxes instead of bags (or the other way around) that everyone in the area used for years... And part of it was he had supposedly broken a law in a Central American country that the country admitted didn't apply to him. He lost everything.

Or how the government continues to persecute land owners who have won in federal court, but the agencies don't give a damn.

Some of these stories are really horrifying and need to be spread to the public.

But then the whole country watched with nary a peep as the federal government incinerated 50+ people, including children.

(Do I really look like a guy with a plan?)

maybe the imperial president has not made gun owners wear yellow stars on their clothing yet but his stenographers at the gannett papers posted an interactive map of where they live in NY....just as dangerous...

(63.5 million pay no income tax and vote for DemoKrats...)

The same result: State Gestapo or Street Criminal Gestapo now have their targetted illuminated for them.

ONE MAJOR DIFFERENCE. Jews were not allowed to possess firearms in Nazi Germany.

So far, Americans are still allowed to possess legal firearms, but if New York, Connecticut, Maryland and Colorado have their way (and they are well on their “way”), this privilege will be taxed, licensed, and investigate into oblivion.

Just replace the Swastika (by reshaping it), and you end up with the Hammer and Sickle. Same old, same old.

"I am assuming the owner is not guilty of anything other than be the unfortunate person that sold weapons to the mother."

You should talk to Licensed Gun Sellers. If the ATF says you are guilty then you are guilty. They can manipulate the system to get the result they want because of the way they write the laws. Fight them and try and bring their dog and pony show out into the light and then masked gunmen kick down your doors and confiscate things and if you resist then they shoot you.
